Sabatini calls for support from Roma fans

3 February 2013 13:37

Roma director Walter Sabatini has urged the club's fans to stay behind the team in the wake of Zdenek Zeman's sacking as coach.

The Czech was relieved of his position after Friday's 4-2 defeat to Cagliari, the culmination of a terrible run that has seen Roma pick up only two points in the five games since the mid-season break and fall to eighth in Serie A.

Fans had gathered in the rain and were directing abuse at the director of football and leading club officials such as general manager Franco Baldini, accusing them of being fans of cross-city rivals Lazio.
